Chevalier's work discusses the nature of money, the prospects for gold production, and the consequences of a fall in the value of gold. Chevalier (1806-1879) and Cobden shared similar opinions, and Chevalier presented Cobden to the French emperor in 1859. In 1860 Chevalier induced Napoleon III to sign a commercial treaty with England, introducing free trade into the public international law of Europe.
